I have not seen any LED flickering or ghosting on Ironman or Batman, but both of those games also use LEDs in the pop bumpers

Spiderman has bad flickering as the lamps are supposed ot be at different brightness levels, rather than on/or/off

my Iron Man has full LED kit and no flickering at all unlike my creature which has some ghosting as only part of the playfield has led's but not the ablaze 3's. IM looks awesome with LEDs - with the Ablaze 3 and 9's used which are designed for flashing and GI lighting.

Though in my pop bumpers were the ablaze 1's and they don't work at all and then replace it with a ablaze 3 and it works.

the under side of a stern playfield is very similar to a sega pin.
these rails will make working on some parts of the underside of the playfield easier (such as flipper adjustments and servicing)

Ok guys, I have designed up 10 cards, only a beginner at this so be kind.

The concept of printing the files down at the photoshop on as a 6" x 4" had a few glitches going from a Illustrator file to jpeg but got it sorted in the end. It looks great, a nice professional finish and no need to laminate.

Ok, voting time as 5 sets of cards are going to be uploaded for your votes, as I will print off 2 copies (1 spare in case you stuff up the trimming  ^&^ ) of your five favourites (as you may try a card or two that aren't what you were hoping for) and I will mail them to you FREE (and let you trim them down if you don't mind). The card numbers are odd at the top and even on the bottom and you can mix up, it doesn't have to be 2 cards off the one sheet.

Offer is for Iron Man owners and those guys that have it on there hit list for 2012 - though I will contact Inkochnito to see if he wants copies on his website.

Here is a mod that I did a little bit of work on today,

1. bought a spare Iron Monger from RTBB for $22, so at least I have one good unit to go back in if needed or if I stuff up this mod

2. drilled a 2 mm pivot drill right through the centre (arc reactor) of his chest from the front to the back

3. then opened up right through with about a 8mm drill (first the whole arc reactor section and including the next outer ring because I did make a little mistake) all depends how much you want the globe to stick out really - so start small and go to suit your personal liking of the globe.

4. then drill the back out to 13mm roughly half way through to allow clearance for the globe holder fitting (Note: take care as the drill wants to pull through to the front and possible out the front of the iron monger wrecking the look so be careful).

5. then the light fitting, I buggered up the first light fitting in modifying so persisted with the mod with a crappy old bulb holder (which will be replaced soon). Screwed the light bracket to his arse to keep the globe forward to the chest hole. Used a blue frosted led into a extended globe holder with 2 temp wires connected to a 6 volt battery pack just to test for the photo and to check that it looks ok.

6. next minor challenge is to work out how the original monger unit comes out

7. and then lastly connect the new wires to a close GI lighting - which I will update once I work it out how with some photos.

What do you reckon DAZ?

photo 1 - front of iron monger with globe
photo 2 - back of iron monger with globe fitting
photo 3 - iron monger lit up via a battery pack

Long time no post but I do make three figure kits for $295 US$ shipped to AU (most cases).
Can also do singles of War Machine $110 and Whiplash $135.

Here is a vid.



All hook up using clips so no solder needed.
Mine use the GI for the chest led and the whiplash hooks to your flasher.

Thanks for looking.
There are three types of whips to choose from.

Why thank you my down under pinball brother  ^^^

Looks like most of AU is going to fall to the $295 side have quoted three and all would be the $295 version.
Remember you have your choice of three different whips.  White -yellow - yellow casted all EL and tie to the flasher.

I ordered the stealth protectors from pinball pal for the magnets over 3 months ago and as yet they still have not arrived.
I have sent a few emails to enquire on my order and as yet I am still to get a single response from them.
It was only a small amount of money spent but I fear that it is gone, approach this mob with caution!!!

Mark Clayton is the owner of PinballPa,l and he had health issues sometime last year. I'm not sure who runs the site now, but I know you cannot place orders. You might want to email and ask for a refund. It would have been a good idea for the site Admin to post a message on the website so people don't place orders.
